Berry Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Berry Hill Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school located in Syosset, New York, serving 450 students in grades K-5 as part of the Syosset Central School District, which is ranked 39th out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berry Hill Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. Its students demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly higher than the state averages. This high performance extends across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, and students with special education needs. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2.87% to 7.11%, suggests a low proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other elementary schools within the Syosset Central School District, Berry Hill Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic proficiency rates. However, some nearby schools, such as Willits Elementary School and South Grove Elementary School, have even higher proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio indicate that it likely has access to sufficient funding and resources to support its high-performing students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
